New Delhi: An expansion of the Andhra Pradesh
cabinet with possible inclusion of legislators from Telangana
region is on the cards with Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy
holding consultations with Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.

Reddy along with Ahmed Patel and Ghulam Nabi Azad met
Gandhi for the second time in as many days and held
discussions with her.

Sources said the discussions were mainly on expansion of
Reddy cabinet with possible inclusion of MLAs from Telangana
region.

They said a final decision on the issue could be taken in
the next 3 to 4 days and that Reddy could make another visit
to the national capital.

The possible expansion assumes significance in the wake of
the bye-elections in the state and no decision on the
Telangana issue.
